My vinyl collection is kinda very short on Jeff Beck records. (I'm mainly a
classical/jazz collector) Any must have recommendations for the hunt would
be good.
I've got 'Guitar Shop' & 'The Best Of Beckology'.

If you like 60's British R&B, get "Truth" and "Beckola".
If you like jazz/rock, get "Blow by Blow", "Wired" and "Live with the
Jan Hammer Group", and perhaps "There and Back".
Three albums I found pretty forgetable were "Rough & Ready", "Beck,
Bogart, Appice" and "Flash". Others will no doubt disagree.
I like quite a lot of "Guitar Shop". The last Jeff Beck album I bought
was "Who Else", which apart from a couple of nice tracks was pretty
awful.

"Must haves"? Tricky. I suspect most would say that Truth and Blow by
Blow are the two absolute classics, but I personally prefer Beckola
and Wired.
